There is 236 mℓ more water in Container H than in Container G. There is 337 mℓ less water in Container G than in Container J. The total amount of water in the three containers is 1545 mℓ.
- How much more water is there in Container J than in Container H?
- How much water is there in Container G?
(a)
Volume of Container G = 1 u
Volume of Container H = 1 u + 236
Volume of Container J = 1 u + 337
Volume of more water in Container J than Container H
= 337 - 236
= 101 mℓ
(b)
Total volume in the 3 containers
= 1 u + 1 u + 236 + 1 u + 337
= 3 u + 573
3 u + 573 = 1545
3 u = 1545 - 573
3 u = 972
1 u = 972 ÷ 3 = 324
Volume of water in Container G
= 1 u
= 324 mℓ
Answer(s): (a) 101 mℓ; (b) 324mℓ
